Abstract (en)

Argues that a controversial ivory Virgin and Child in the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, together with a related ivory depicting the Virgin and Child of the Hodigitria type (Milan, Civiche raccolte d'arte applicata), was produced in an early Christian workshop in Egypt in the late 6th or early 7th c.; and identifies the Walters Virgin as the earliest example of the Eleousa iconographic type.
